Hi mate glad you hear you got it running. were the diagrams that dave made correct or did they need tweaking, just so we know for the good of all. I'm glad the module worked fine, it run fine on the sierra when i got it but it was out in the damp shed for quite a while guess it cant be that damp :D.

Car engine bays tend to be damp anyway :rolleyes:
